No, if tex-common has not been configured, there's either no texmf.cnf,
or the one from teTeX-2.0, without TEXMFSYSCONFIG (and also without
TEXMFSYSVAR, IIRC):

$ kpsewhich -var-value TEXMFSYSBONFIG; echo $?

Either we need a Depends on tex-common, or a check whether there is a
texmf.cnf, or similar.
